350 Mass Gtr Franklin node meeting this Thursday, May 1, 7:00-9:00pm

Hey, everybody! 

Our 350 Mass Greater Franklin node meeting will be held this Thursday, May 1, 7:00-9:00 pm. at the First Universalist Society Franklin (FUSF), 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin, MA.

Please put this in your Calendar for Thursday night.

Ordinarily the first Thursday meeting of the month is a hybrid meeting, offering both in person and Zoom attendance.  However, because the purpose of this meeting is to do dry runs for our speaking to our legislators about the legislation before them this session, it will be ideal for attendees to come in person.  There will be other topics briefly discussed, but this will be the main thrust of the meeting.

ALERT: Different Mar 20, 2025 meeting instead of 350 Mass Greater Franklin Node mtg

Hey, 350 Mass Greater Franklin Node members,

We're going to do things a little differently this Thursday's meeting time as it's the season for campaign launches!

This Thursday is the launch of the 350 Mass Save Money With Clean Heat campaign from 7:00-9:00pm on Zoom.

350 Mass Greater Franklin Node

This is ordinarily our bi-monthly meeting only on Zoom anyway, so I think it's advantageous to use it to become familiar with the campaign.

Perhaps you saw in the Climate Weekly newsletter that the Make Polluters Pay campaign launch was last Sunday in Boston. Here is today's Climate Weekly:

Last Sunday, 350 Mass, Mass Power Forward and our whole coalition gathered to launch the 2025-2026 Make Polluters Pay campaign! For decades, big fossil fuel companies have made trillions of dollars while destroying our shared environment. It's time to make polluters pay. Thank you to the volunteers who planned the event and our speakers, including Iselle Barrios of the Massachusetts Youth Climate Coalition (MYCC) and Tristan Thomas of Alternatives for Community and the Environment (ACE).  Watch a recording of the launch and learn more about the campaign at the Polluters Pay website.

IN ANY CASE, I'd like to propose everyone register for and attend this Thursday's Save Money with Clean Heat launch instead of having a regular node meeting.

The registration for the Save Money with Clean Heat campaign launch Zoom is here. See you on Zoom!

With gratitude,

Carolyn

Representative Roy Among Climate Leaders Honored at the State House for their Work in Energy Efficiency

State Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (D-Franklin) was among those honored at the 2024 Mass Save Climate Leaders ceremony held at the State House on Tuesday, January 21st.

The annual event, co-hosted by the Sponsors of Mass Save (National Grid, Eversource, Until, Berkshire Gas, Liberty, and the Cape Light Compact), celebrated 19 “Climate Leaders” across a range of industries for partnering with Mass Save to make substantial and innovative energy efficiency investments.  Representative Roy also received an award honoring him for his unwavering commitment to advancing energy efficiency in Massachusetts.

(L-R) Katherine Peters, Director of Residential Energy
Efficiency at Eversource, Rep Roy
and Chris Porter from National Grid, Director
 of Customer Energy Management at National Grid

Collectively, the Mass Save Climate Leaders avoided 47,500 metric tons of CO2, which is equivalent to the amount of energy used by over 6,300 homes in one year.  The awardees represented industries across a wide array of sectors such as healthcare; municipalities; community organizations; cultural institutions; hospitality; industrial & agricultural energy efficiency; post-secondary education; developers; the food industry; and school districts.  

Among those honored was the Acton Boxborough Regional School District (ABRSD). ABRSD Superintendent Peter Light, formerly Principal at Franklin High School, was at the ceremony on behalf of the district to receive the award.

The ABRSD was honored for their work as one of the first-ever U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools awardees.  Their Boardwalk Campus is a newly constructed, fully electric project that relocated two separate elementary schools into one energy efficient building.  With the help of their Mass Save partner Eversource, the project exceeded an Energy Use Intensity goal and installed energy-efficient measures such as ground-source heat pumps, enhanced insulation, demand-control ventilation, energy recovery, as well as a commercial-scale electric kitchen.

Representative Roy spoke at the awards ceremony along with Elizabeth Mahony, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, as well as leaders from Eversource and National Grid, each a Mass Save sponsor.

Representative Roy speaking

“I applaud the 2024 Mass Save Climate Leaders for undertaking innovative, climate-driven solutions to reduce their energy use and carbon footprint,” said State Representative Jeffrey N. Roy (D-Franklin).  “I especially want to thank the Mass Save Sponsors for honoring me with an award and for their strong partnerships with entities across the Commonwealth to facilitate tangible, measurable, and impactful climate action that moves Massachusetts forward into its clean energy future.”

 “I’m happy to be here to celebrate the Mass Save Climate Leaders and their good work to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy use through efficiency measures,” said Elizabeth Mahony, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources. “The 2024 Climate Leaders are undertaking impressive projects including electrification, energy efficient upgrades, sustainable building projects, energy conservation, net zero buildings, and two all-electric geothermal schools.”

“It is our pleasure to recognize the 2024 Mass Save Climate Leaders, all of whom have distinguished themselves as true leaders in our collective missions to help Massachusetts achieve a net zero future,” said Tilak Subrahmanian, Vice President of Energy Efficiency at Eversource. “The impact each has had – individually and collectively – cannot be overstated.” 

“Thank you, honorees, for being leaders not just in your industries, but for the entire Commonwealth,” said Christopher Porter, Director of Customer Energy Management at National Grid. “Your commitment to innovation, sustainability, and climate action is a testament to what can be achieved when we all work together towards a common goal.”

In recent years, the Legislature has taken significant steps to help decarbonize the Commonwealth while maintaining affordability and energy reliability. 

In 2021, the Legislature set bold goals to reduce emissions with the Next Generation Roadmap Law, which required clean energy and climate “roadmap” plans every five years through 2050 to ensure the Bay State stayed on track.  

In 2022, they built on this work by creating clean energy policies and programs to help meet these limits. 

Recently, in 2024, the Legislature passed a climate bill which makes historic changes that streamline the state’s siting and permitting processes for clean energy infrastructure projects, and promotes clean energy, battery storage, and electric vehicle policies to build a robust charging network, among many other reforms. 

They also passed a climatetech bill which provides significant levels of funding and tax incentives to support the growth of the climatetech industry, making the Commonwealth a competitive hub for this innovative and critical sector. This bill was modeled after legislation that helped launch the successful life sciences industry in Massachusetts. 

The Guardian: Big oil spent $445m in last election cycle to influence Trump and Congress, report says

"Big oil spent a stunning $445m throughout the last election cycle to influence Donald Trump and Congress, a new analysis has found.

That figure includes funding from January 2023 and November 2024 for political donations, lobbying and advertising to support elected officials and specific policies. Because it does not include money funneled through dark-money groups – which do not have to reveal their donors – it is almost certainly a vast understatement, says the report from green advocacy group Climate Power, which is based on campaign finance disclosures and advertising industry data.

Fossil fuel interests poured $96m into Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and affiliated political action committees, the report found. Much of that was covered by megadonor oil billionaires, such as the fracking magnate Harold Hamm, the pipeline mogul Kelcy Warren and the drilling tycoon Jeffery Hildebrand.

Additional contributions came from lesser-known oil and gas interests, including fossil fuel-trading hedge funds, mining corporations and the producers of offshore-drilling ships and fuel tanks."

Boston Globe: "How is the state doing on climate? The latest report card tells all"

"The state’s second-ever annual Climate Report Card was released Friday, showing a mixed bag of results.

Last year showed some progress on heat pump installations, electric vehicles and chargers, land conservation, and efforts at adaptation to the impacts of climate change. But there were some clear headwinds, too, that led to a slowdown in clean energy development — a must-have if the state is going to stay on track for its target of essentially zeroing out greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century.

“For the things that we can control, we are seeing the results,” said Katherine Antos, state undersecretary for decarbonization and resilience. “The challenges that we’re facing more have to do with macro economic conditions.”

One thing is clear: While every year in this decade is critical for the climate, the hardest part is yet to come. “We always knew that 2025 to 2030 is the time where we really need to see market transformation and scaling of these solutions,” Antos said."

With this additional time we would like all to view the YouTube video of the meeting in advance and take notes on questions and comments you come away with to input our group discussion at our meeting.  This will allow us to expedite viewing of the otherwise 2 hour long video in our meeting, allowing us to simply focus on those portions of greatest import. Here is  a link to the YouTube presentation.

We will share a screen in Zoom to show the YouTube presentation for everyone during our showing, allowing us to pause to discuss points.  Sometimes Zoom running a YouTube video can be a bit choppy. If it doesn't work for you, you can run the recording directly using the link we've provided.

If you can come but you'll be late, that's OK. We'd rather you come if you can. And while the meeting will be hybrid, both in-person and Zoom, it is preferable to be in person for a full-fledged discussion.

Watch "A Controversial Play — and What It Taught Me About the Psychology of Climate | David Finnigan | TED" on YouTube

via TED2024: 

"When playwright David Finnigan launched a new play in 2014, controversially titled "Kill Climate Deniers," he was not prepared for the blowback.  

But the conversations with climate skeptics of all stripes ultimately taught him a fascinating lesson about how many of us think about — and act upon — the climate crisis. (Recorded at TED2024 on April 17, 2024)

ALERT: 350 Mass Greater Franklin node MEETING CHANGED from Dec 5 to Dec 11

Hi everyone,

Because of the holidays and the Statewide Campaign presentation being recorded Monday, Dec 9, for nodes to review and discuss to determine our campaign focus for the foreseeable future, we need to change our meeting date.

Ordinarily we'd meet this Thursday, Dec 5, but at our next meeting we need to discuss and provide feedback to the Statewide Steering Team for their Jan 8 meeting to vote on statewide campaign(s).

As our next meeting time, Dec 19, is too close to the busy holidays, Steve and I decided we'd change the next node meeting to be Wed, Dec 11, at 7:00 PM, at First Universalist Society in Franklin, 262 Chestnut Street, Franklin. 

If you cannot come Dec 11, please let me know and I'll send the recorded presentation to you (after Dec 9). You can view the recording and either call or email me your preferences and thoughts.

If you can come but you'll be late, that's OK. I'd rather you come if you can.

The meeting will be hybrid, both in-person and Zoom. We should be able to have both options available, but it would be best to be in person for a full-fledged discussion.

350 Mass Greater Franklin node

PLEASE PUT THIS CHANGE ON YOUR CALENDAR!  😁

🧀  🍪 🎄🎄🎄🎄 🍪   🧀  

Also, as the holidays are upon us now, we'll have a little holiday party (we won't be ALL WORK as we discuss the campaign selection), so if you'd like to bring something simple and yummy, either hors d'oeuvres or sweets, to share, that would be fun! Rand and I will bring some cider and cheese and crackers. No big deal! 😁

I hope this works for you all. December is always problematic with families having busy holiday plans!
